      It’s certainly a far more entertaining watch than Atlas Shrugged is to read. It’s just awful. I couldn’t even get all the way through it, I ended up reading a summary.

      But two things in it really made me laugh-

      1. That railroads would work better if the government had no involvement (good luck laying track without eminent domain).
      2. The solution to the world’s problems involves violating the laws of physics.

      And people take it seriously.

        Government is better at X… because it can steal stuff. Yay for the government, I guess… :D

          When it comes to rail? Yes. How do you propose putting in rail lines without eminent domain?

          And we desperately need more rail in this country.
